Not had a CX but I can't find any fault with my ALP as it does pretty much everything I ask of it.. You've not asked but I'm going to reply anyway.... 120 Cadence - mechanically you should be aiming for 80-90 cadence to save your knees and muscles Power - if you are in a flat country then...

@Eagle - First bike was a Cytronex GT Transeo; frame was already pretty beefy and with a simple bottle battery and front hub dragged me up hills. It also dragged me and a two-kid trailer up and down through Epping Forest. Battery life wasn't great but as the idea was to help with my (6km each...

I was over 22 stone when I started 6 years or so ago and at 6"4' not too much shorter.. I've gone through a couple of bikes and my current one is a Cube Acid Hybrid. Frame is the XL sized and I tend to have a high seat when on the commute but the Bosch motor seems to get me up and down hills...

I’ve got the Cube Acid One 400 as I ummed and arr’d for ages but figured that I’d vote with my wallet. Absolutely love it, don’t think that I made a poor choice! FWIW my first bike was a Cytronex which I had for about 6 years. I’m 6’4” and about 19.5 stone and the ActivePlus seems to carry...

If I was still looking then that would be pretty much at the top of my list. Wondering if I can justify *another* bike...

I ran a Cytronex for about 4 years and racked up well over a 1000 miles. This was pulling a trailer with the kids, towing them on a FollowMe tandem and generally larking about in Epping Forest. Never had a problem until I stopped using it and then came back to it to find that the motor was...

Love these tyres - had them on most of my commuter / light trail bikes..

According to https://www.bosch-ebike.com/fileadmin/EBC/downloads/Bedienungsanleitungen/MY2019/BUI210_215_Purion_MY19_WEU_mReg.pdf?_=1529055461 its a battery fault. “Switch off the eBike, remove the eBike battery and reinsert the eBike battery. Restart the system. If the problem persists...

Yep, just back off a bit as you go up the cassette, going down seems to be ok to keep the power on.. Which Di2 did you go for? I’ve only seen the road-bike versions where the shifters are on the levers

Seems to be some good deals on the XT groupset at the moment as well. Tempted to upgrade mine (same bike but 400)

Photo of the random cable and internally routed seat post cable. Just done 9km round the village, mix of tarmac, fire road and fields - really easy and I can feel the difference in modes. Gearing isn’t as slick as I’d like but it’s good enough to not change (yet) and I can tell it’s a Suntour...

So, having been away for a while I'm back with a new bike. Previous was a Cytronex conversion that I used and abused for about 4 years, gradually getting fitter to the point that the assist was not needed. fast forwards a couple of years and the abuse to the hub motor meant that graunching...

Hi All - I've had a Cytronex for quite a while now but its a bit battered. after 5/6 years the hub has a horrible graunching noise and the battery is on its last legs. So, time for a refresh.. Whats the current thinking on Hub/Crank? typical use would be road and trails, nothing to hairy but...

Dude.. I started out at nearly 22 stone with the same intention (6'4" frame hid most of it so no-one really knew!) and had the same plan - I live in a village outside of the tube network in London so wanted to cycle the 4 miles each way to save myself £6 a day car parking. I was worried about...

Coming up to 450miles on mine (Transeo 1.0) - no problems to report other than some scrote nicking my saddle and switching to winter (half studded) tires. Forgot to charge the battery last week and cycled home - including some reasonable hills; both steep and continuous long grades which I...

When I picked up mine last summer I did ask Mark about LiOn batteries and it was something that he was looking into; it would require a controller mod though. I'm guessing that by the time that my battery ends up fading it will be sorted.. until then I'll just keep going ;-) My riding style...

Not had a problem with slow speed; riding around car park and slow speed traffic seems to be ok. I either use the rear brake which cuts the power or just turn it off - yes, its a different system compared to throttle-type but horses for courses; for me its exactly what I wanted. If I pedal...

So, today started with a nice walk through epping forest with the kids and then off to the show.. car parking was a bit of a mare but to be expected... Boat show - stuck my head round the door and scurried back quickly due to cost Adventure show - been a couple of years as we (before kids)...

700Cx40 - just ordered some to arrive Monday; can't do another week without the bike....
